We are on a brink of an unprecedented revolution in science that will change forever how science is done and what it means to be a scientist! Instead of having to do all our writing, reading and thinking ourselves, we will now be able to spend all our time on debunking wrong AI-generated papers!
OpenAI leadership are promoting a paper in Physics Letters B where GPT-5 proposed the main idea — possibly the first peer-reviewed paper where an LLM generated the core contribution. One small problem: GPT-5's idea tests the wrong thing. My technical comment: scirate.com/arxiv/2512.0... 1/
![As part of a broader effort to demonstrate AI’s po-
tential in scientific research [1], OpenAI executives have
pointed to a recently published paper by Hsu [2] as evi-
dence that AI can contribute original ideas to physics [3,
4]. Hsu credits GPT-5 with proposing the core idea of the
paper de novo, possibly the first published physics article
where the main idea came from an LLM, and discusses
the methodology in a companion piece [5]. We examine
whether GPT-5’s criterion is correct.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:uknpj5mh4cfutreceecdbv7x/bafkreia3jerjfcqdui45n4upaqci5u5r6st7o7pqmdzahhjtidtostpooq@jpeg)

There is a direct correlation between how fake your job is and how much value you see in AI
A study by Dayforce shows 87% of executives use AI for work, compared to 57% of managers and just 27% of employees.
I think this explains the massive disconnect we see in how CEOs talk about AI versus everyone else. It also raises the question of how useful it truly is for frontline work?

Execs are embracing AI more than their employees are, new research suggests
Research from HR software company Dayforce suggests that executives are leaning into AI far more than their employees.
